Bob Marley [formerly Joey]

return to top
Joey is now named Bob Marley and I can't tell you how
wonderful he has been! He gets along with everyone, human and
animal. We take him in the car, and he loves it. He has been to
the river and loves jumping from rock to rock. We took him to
the beach this weekend and he loved playing with other dogs
(although he is a little timid of the water). He does great
going to friends houses and is perfect around kids. People
comment on what a pretty dog he is! I wanted to let you know how
happy I am with him! Thank you for taking the time to help me
pick my perfect companion. I also want to say, I really think
what you all are doing to help homeless pets is priceless.
Thanks again! |

much for allowing us to make him part of our family! |

Cricket [formerly Bosley]

 Bosley,
now named Cricket, is a wonderful addition to my household. He s
the sweetest, most loving, happy-go-lucky boy. Cricket follows
me wherever I go! Even if he is sleeping, he wakes up to follow
me to the room I'm in so that he can sleep there. Although he
does sleep with me on some nights, his favorite place to rest
and sleep is in my closest on a pile of clothes!
He loves going on walks, being rubbed, and spending time with
me! I am so
lucky to have Cricket! Thank you so much for giving me the
chance to love him! |

Casper [formerly Luke]
-
return to top
 Casper,
now named Luke, found a wonderful family in CT. He's a lucky
boy! Here's an update from the happy family:
Luke weighs 65 lbs now and is 8 months old, almost 9. It's hard
to believe we have had him 4 months already. He seems to like
the water more and more each time we walk him at the pond.
There is a great walking trail where a lot of people bring their
dogs to play and swim.
Luke loves it there. A lot of people comment on how pretty he is
and then they always ask, "what kind of dog is he?".
He loves the whole family, but pretty much is stuck to my hip.
He is very loyal. It was hard to get his picture. Each time we
got the camera out, he would come over to sniff or lick the
lens!

 Callie
waited almost a full year for someone to notice how special she
is and take her home. The happy day finally came and now she's
got a wonderful home. She loves her new feline siblings and
being in a real home is a dream come true. Proud new daddy sent
us this photo of Callie on her favorite perch in her new home.

Charlie-

Here is a picture of Charlie taken this weekend. Our son,
Sam, commented that Charlie and I have the same beard and
mustache. He’s such a love. I cannot believe how sweet his
disposition is. He’s curious, fun, interested in being near
one or all of us. Sam has been home with Charlie the last
two days and they have bonded really well. You can add
another success story to your long list. We feel so good
about having him in our home.

 Just
wanted to let you know what a love bug Emmie is. She is always
on someone's lap, curled up beside us or just lapping your face.
Emmie is also learning how
to play - sadly she didn't know how to chase a ball, pull on a
sock, or anything else that puppies learn. But she does know
when it is time to eat and sleep! We adore her. Thank you so
much for all you do. |

Rufus [formerly Pongo]

After almost a full year
of waiting for his happy ending, Pongo was about to give up
hope. Then a wonderful lady came to Wescott Acres and
adopted him. Oh happy day! He is in the most awesome home
ever. His new name is Rufus and his mom sent us this nice
photo showing our boy all dressed up for the 4th. Here is
the note she sent.......
Just wanted to send you
my latest pic and wish everyone a Happy Fourth of July! I
still love it here. I can even stay out in the house during
the day since I am such a good boy!

Georgia and Flower
-
return to top
The girls are doing great!
The
3 ladies are having a blast together! They are now chasing
each other around the yard at 100 miles an hour and rolling
all over when they crash! In the last 3-4 days Flower has
made great strides in allowing herself to relax while
playing in the yard!
Yesterday, they discovered that our great Dane Stella has a
toy basket full of toys in the corner of the living
room….let me say that it looks like a Toys R Us exploded in
my living room! My family and I finally feel that Flower
thinks she has a home, while Georgia has acted like she had
a home the day she got here!
Adopting those two angels has been wonderful for our entire
family (not so good for a few pairs of shoes that have been
eaten-ooops). Thanks to everyone has done over the last year
to get them to where they were able to be adopted out – we
are very grateful!

Goldie

Goldie was adopted in
October 2007 to a wonderful family in Florida. She is
doing great and loves her new family very much. They
say she is the best dog ever. She loves her doggie
sibling, all children and living in Florida! Thanks to
this awesome family for welcoming a South Carolina girl
into their home. (Goldie is the yellow dog sitting
beside her new best friend)

Snowy -

 Snowy
is doing great. I believe that she is house trained because she
has behaved herself well while my husband and I are working. She
enjoys her morning walks with my husband before he goes to work
and our "together" walks after dinner. Sunday we took her to the
lake to meet the rest of her family and they got along very well
and had so much fun. I am including pictures of her first
bath with us. She seems very happy and we are happy to have
her! |

Einstien (formerly Benji)
-
return to top
 Thought you might like to
know that Einstien (formerly Benji) is doing really well and
is happy in his new home. He has made friends with everyone
in the family, especially our grandaughter, and with some of
our neighbors and their kids. He warms up to women much more
easily then men and with kids in no time at all.
We have placed no
restrictions on where he can go, so he follows us
everywhere. Sometimes he sleeps with us, sometimes he
sleeps in the living room, but where he can watch our
door. Einstien always jumps into bed for a cuddle last
thing in the evening and first thing in the morning.
He loves to play and has
toys scattered everywhere. About once a day, Einstien goes
around and brings everything into the living room. He is
very loving, playful, responsive, and bright! We adore him
and he is already as spoiled as the other family pets - and
loving it!

Perry

 Perry's
Happy Ending. A couple drove all the way from Tampa to adopt
this lucky boy!
Perry was a real trooper on
the long trip back to FL. As soon as we got here he decided
he was home and settled in with ease. All the neighbors
came over to meet him and he greeted each one with a smile
and a handshake. We took Perry out for a boat ride and he
liked it very much. A tennis ball is his favorite
toy. Perry is house trained. He is a "Velcro Golden"......
always by my side.

Miracle -

 Miracle
came to Wescott Acres Pet Rescue with a horrible burn down her
back where someone had poured hot oil or acid on this innocent
girl. She never once held a grudge against people. She's always
been sweet and loving. Lucky for her, a wonderful couple came
along and gave her a great home. They just sent us this photo,
saying they've renamed her Athen Milan and she's so precious to
them. See the photo of her as she carries her favorite toy, her
moosie, piggy back style. What a happy ending!

 Zippy
is now named Tinker. He is so sweet and smart. He sleeps in the
bed with me every night. He sleeps under the covers, but
sometimes, he sticks his head out like me. The other dogs and
cats have accepted him. He is just so sweet that nobody can be
jealous. I really got a wonderful boy! Thanks for all you do!

Noie [now named Karo] -
return to top
 Noie
is now named Karo. She was adopted by a wonderful lady in
Virginia who has given Karo the home of her dreams. Here is a
small portion of a wonderful update we've received:
While she is without a doubt my little shadow (which is truly
apparently when I have to leave and she can't come with me) I
think Karo's "best friend" on the block is my next door
neighbor's dog Cody. Cody is a Golden Retriever with a
wonderful disposition. They play together frequently in my
backyard. At 10, Cody can't quite keep up with Karo's pace, but
he is a wise fellow and not only lets her know when he's had
enough, but also has a trick or two up his paw. When he gets
the tennis ball, but has had enough, he lays on top of it to
keep it from her. I think they are great for each other and my
neighbor agrees. That said, I am amazed at how well Karo
entertains herself with her toys, pouncing and flipping the ball
like a catch. |

Blackie [now named Jack] -
return to top
I have renamed him Jack,
as he seems more like a Jack than a Blackie. He sleeps well
at night, he has a dog bed in my room and he is ready to go
to bed by 10 PM. He definitely loves taking long walks,
which are good for me as well, and that makes him sleep
better. I try to get in one in the evenings of at least an
hour. He walks on the leash well. I grabbed the camera and
took a few quick shots when we came back in the house a few
minutes ago. He is a wonderful dog and I thank you for
giving me the opportunity to make him a part of my
life. Please take care and keep up the good work that you
do.

Andre
(now named Anjo)
- return to top
A
concerned Irmo resident saw the small white kitten darting
in and out of traffic on a busy road and rescued him out of
harms way. They took Andre to Wescott Acres. Andre was cute
as a button but did not warm up to staff and visitors very
well… He was very “whiny” when anyone tried to hold him.
After being adopted, he changed quite a bit!
He loves to be held and cuddled now. In fact he has been
known to take a nap in your arms. His favorite thing to do
with his new mom is to sit on a comfy chair and watch TV
with her. Anjo really gets a kick out of watching Headline
News where he can see the words scroll across the screen all
day long!

Ranger
- return to top
Ranger is such a good little boy! He is settling in very
nicely in his new home. He listens, he is very playful and
very, very sweet. We are thrilled to have him and everyone
that has met him, loves him! Yesterday a friend came with
her family to see Ranger. Today he had the visit of the lady
that does the PR work for my gallery. Yesterday, Ranger
went to visit our neighbor with a thank you card for the
nice reference she gave to have us approved for
adoption..... In short, he’s getting to know all the people
in his new world.
As
promised, here is a picture of Lucy and Ranger playing in
the snow.

Lucas

Lucas waited and waited to be adopted. Wescott
staff and volunteers couldn't understand it because he's such an
awesome boy. It all makes perfect sense now.....he was waiting
for the perfect place to call home. He's found his family and
finally has his happy ending. He has kids to play with and gets
to sleep in the bed with them at night. He couldn't be happier
and it was worth the wait. |

Bud
- return to top
I
just wanted to give you an update on Bud, aka “Buddy.” He
is fitting in beautifully with our family. He and my
existing dog were instant “litter mates.” He is exceptional
with my 3 kids and their friends and is already trained on
the invisible fence! He ignores my 2 cats and is a quick
learner. He’s been to one of his 8 training sessions at
PetSmart and did very well. He’s a real love bug! My 3
year old will use him as a pillow while she’s watching TV.
He just eats it up! Even my husband, who is not an animal
lover, thinks Buddy is a good dog. Now that’s a miracle!
Thanks for giving us the opportunity to find such a great
dog. I know it is a labor of love for you and the other
volunteers so I wanted to let you know what a difference you
made in Buddy’s life and the life of our family.

Winnie [now named Lilly]
- return to top
Winnie was rescued from a kill shelter. A wonderful family
drove all the way from Raleigh NC to adopt her from us. What
a lucky girl Winnie is to have such a great home. Here's
what the new family says about her:
Winnie (new name “Lilly”), did absolutely wonderful on the
way home. She wasn’t nervous at all. She actually slept
some of the way. The snow and ice held off until we got
home, so that was a relief. When we got home our neighbors
made a sign with balloons and “treats” welcoming her home.
They all came over to meet her and even our neighbors
wheaten mix came to say hello. They got along great and
will be seeing a lot of each other. She gave everyone
‘kisses’. She checked out her new house , but didn’t seem
to know what to do, so we let her ‘chill’ for a while. This
morning she went for her first walk. She sniffed everything
on the dog trail so it took a while, but that’s okay! We
absolutely love her. She is hanging out with Billy ‘on’ the
couch right now! She was worth the trip!

Update on Hudson
[now named Shadow]
- return to top
Hudson is now named
Shadow and is doing great!!! . Karl thinks the big
boys have gained about 2 years of life with all the exercise
they get now with Shadow. She's non stop all day, she
bounces all over. Her coat is so beautiful. I've never seen
a dogs coat shine so much. She's good and beautiful too.
She is so sweet and doesn't know she is a Pitt Bull.
She just loves to play and investigate everything. I think
she is very happy. She sleeps beside my bed in her doggie
bed. All in all she's a great addition and I'm so glad I got
her!

UPDATE ON BEBO, NOW
NAMED CODY! - return to top
BEBO RIDING TO GET MORNING COFFEE!
Bebo is
now officially "Cody". We totally love him! Cody is such a
good, good boy. He stays home during the work day with our
pugs Tucker and Alfie and my mom's caregiver, so he is getting
lots of attention and training. Cam told him to be a good boy
since he had been returned twice. Poor fellow! How could
anyone not love him? He is extremely gentle and is a great
companion. He will get much needed exercise and care!
Every weekday morning I take our boys (pugs) to The Java Hut for
my breakfast shake--rain or shine. Cody rides with us now,
too! Attached is a photo of Cody on the middle van seat. My
boys are in the front. Aren't dogs the BEST!? So glad we
found a Wescott Rescue! Sure wish we could help many others. |
